The Carla Vista Products Co. currently has debt with a market value of $275 million outstanding. The debt consists of 9 percent

coupon bonds (semiannual coupon payments) that have a maturity of 15 years and are currently priced at $882.47 per bond. The firm

also has an issue of 2 million preferred shares outstanding with a market price of $15 per share. The preferred shares pay an annual

dividend of $1.20. Carla Vista also has 14 million shares of common stock outstanding with a price of $20.00 per share. The firm is

expected to pay a $2.20 common dividend one year from today, and that dividend is expected to increase by 8 percent per year

forever. If Carla Vista is subject to a 28 percent marginal tax rate. Calculate the appropriate cost of capital for a new project that is

financed with the same proportion of debt, preferred shares, and common shares as the firm's current capital structure. Assume that

the project has the same degree of systematic risk as the average project that the firm is currently undertaking. Also assume that the

project is in the same general industry as the firm's current line of business. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g.

1.2514 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g.15.25%.)
